Some early Barbadian history

"Rather than a history of early-17th-century Barbados, work is a collection of essays, 'some of them correcting and revising articles' that author had previously published. Intended for readers interested in 17th-century living conditions on the island. People are given center stage with focus on Richard Ligon, the Holdips, the Walronds, Sir William Dutton, and some of the Barbadian immigrants to South Carolina. Also contains text of an anonymous 1741 work entitled Memoirs of the first settlement of the island of Barbados"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
